Abstract

Background: Functional and camouflage orthodontic treatments in cl II malocclusions are different treatment methods that usually used in orthodontic practice. A comparison of treatment success betweenthose treatment groups shows which treatment method is better to choose.
Objectives: This study aimed to compare functional and camouflage orthodontic treatments in patients with class II malocclusion.
Materials and methods: The sample size was from individuals who they completed treatments between February 2017 and July 2020 at the Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry in Suleyman Demirel University, Turkey. The subjects were from 2 genders and a total number of 146 cases with an average age of 11-22 years. Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) index was used to evaluate the success of the treatment using plaster models taken from these cases before and after the treatment.
Results: In our study, orthodontic treatment results were evaluated by the PAR index in three groups as very successful, successful, and unsuccessful according to the scores of success rate (PAR%). The majority of treatments were found to be successful (67.81%), approximately a quarter of cases were very successful (26.71%), and low rate of failure (5.48%).
Conclusion: Although there were positive occlusal changes in functional and camouflage orthodontic treatment groups, patients in the functional orthodontic treatment group showed more improvement in the PAR change rate. Therefore, we recommend starting with treatment at an early age to get more benefit from the growth of patients.
